This domain is found in E.coli primosomal protein 1 (Pp1). PP1 domain (residues 84-153) in Swiss:P0A8J2 can bind to different types of ssDNA, which is fundamental for its physiological substrate bindings. Functional analysis indicate that both N- and C- terminals are essential to having the cooperative effect in binding ssDNA. The ssDNA bound complex displays a spiral filament assembly that is adopted by many proteins that are involved in DNA replication, such as DnaA, RecA and PriB. This domain is similar to Pfam:PF08585 except that it contains an extra loop at the N-terminus (84-99). Structural analysis indicate that this extra loop might be essential for the stabilisation of the three-helix bundle [1].
